NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::ModeHelpers - Mojolicious Plugin that adds helpers to determine the mode and avoid typos

STATUS

SYNOPSIS

use Mojolicious::Lite;
plugin 'ModeHelpers';

if (app->in_prod) { # true if app->mode eq 'production'
  # do prod stuff
} elsif (app->in_dev) { # true if app->mode ne 'production'
  # do dev stuff
}

# rename in_prod and in_dev
plugin ModeHelpers => { prod_helper_name => 'in_production_mode', dev_helper_name => 'in_development_mode' };
if (app->in_production_mode) { # true if app->mode eq 'production'
  # do prod stuff
} elsif (app->in_development_mode) { # true if app->mode ne 'production'
  # do dev stuff
}

# provide your own custom modes to generate helpers
plugin ModeHelpers => { modes => ['alpha', 'beta'] };
if (app->in_alpha) { # true if app->mode eq 'alpha'
  # do alpha stuff
} elsif (app->in_beta) { # true if app->mode eq 'beta'
  # do beta stuff
}

# weird modes get valid perl subroutine names
plugin ModeHelpers => { modes => ['my strange mode!'] };
if (app->in_my_strange_mode) { # true if app->mode eq 'my strange mode!'
  # do strange things
}

# provide your own helper name and mode pairs
plugin ModeHelpers => { modes => [{ in_alpha_mode => 'alpha' }, 'beta'] };
if (app->in_alpha_mode) { # true if app->mode eq 'alpha'
  # do alpha stuff
} elsif (app->in_beta) { # true if app->mode eq 'beta'
  # do beta stuff
}

# use Mojolicious helper dot notation
plugin ModeHelpers => {
  prod_helper_name => 'modes.prod',
  dev_helper_name => 'modes.dev',
  modes => [{ 'modes.alpha' => 'alpha' }]
};

if (app->modes->prod) { # true if app->mode eq 'production'
  # do prod stuff
}

  # do dev stuff
}

if (app->modes->alpha) { # true if app->mode eq 'alpha'
  # do alpha stuff
}

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::ModeHelpers is a Mojolicious::Plugin that adds helpers so that you can know what mode you are in via a method call instead of comparing to the string returned by "mode" in Mojolicious. This can help with typos, and is often more compact. You may use the built-in "in_prod" and "in_dev" methods, or you can add helpers for your custom "modes".

METHODS

in_prod

Returns true if "mode" in Mojolicious is production. Otherwise, returns false.

if (app->in_prod) { # true if app->mode eq 'production'
  # do prod stuff
}

"in_prod" can be renamed via "prod_helper_name".

in_dev

Returns true if "mode" in Mojolicious does not equal production. Otherwise, returns false.

if (app->in_dev) { # true if app->mode ne 'production'
  # do dev stuff
}

"in_dev" can be renamed via "dev_helper_name".

register

my $config = $plugin->register($app);
my $config = $plugin->register($app, { modes => ['alpha', 'beta', 'gamma'] });

Register plugin in Mojolicious application and create helpers.

OPTIONS

prod_helper_name

"prod_helper_name" allows you to change the name of the "in_prod" helper:

plugin ModeHelpers => { prod_helper_name => 'in_production_mode' };

if (app->in_production_mode) { # true if app->mode eq 'production'
  # do prod stuff
}

You can also use the "helper" in Mojolicious dot notation:

plugin ModeHelpers => { prod_helper_name => 'modes.prod' };

if (app->modes->prod) {
  # do prod stuff
}

dev_helper_name

"dev_helper_name" allows you to change the name of the "in_dev" helper:

plugin ModeHelpers => { dev_helper_name => 'in_development_mode' };

if (app->in_development_mode) { # true if app->mode ne 'production'
  # do dev stuff
}

You can also use the "helper" in Mojolicious dot notation:

plugin ModeHelpers => { dev_helper_name => 'modes.dev' };

if (app->modes->dev) {
  # do dev stuff
}

mode

"modes" allows you to pass in custom modes that will have their own helpers that return true if "mode" in Mojolicious equals their mode. Modes can either be a non-empty scalar, or a hash that has a key-value pair of helper_name => mode.

plugin ModeHelpers => {
  modes => [
    'alpha', # generates helper in_alpha for mode 'alpha'
    { in_beta_mode => 'beta' }, # generates helper in_beta_mode for mode 'beta'
    'my strange mode!', # generates helper in_my_strange_mode for mode 'my strange mode!'
  ],
};

if (app->in_alpha) { # true if app->mode eq 'alpha'
  # do alpha stuff
} elsif (app->in_beta_mode) { # true if app->mode eq 'beta'
  # do beta stuff
} elsif (app->in_my_strange_mode) { # true if app->mode eq 'my strange mode!'
  # do strange things
}

SCALAR

Non-empty strings can be passed into "modes". The helper name is generated with these steps:

• Pass the mode to "slugify" in Mojo::Util.

• Replace all dashes with underscores.

• Append the resulting value to the string "in_".

  plugin ModeHelpers => { modes => ['alpha', 'my strange mode!'] };

  if (app->in_alpha) { # true if app->mode eq 'alpha' # do alpha stuff } elsif (app->in_my_strange_mode) { # true if app->mode eq 'my strange mode!' # do strange things }

HASH

A key-value pair can be provided as a hash, where the key is the helper name and the value is the mode.

plugin ModeHelpers => { modes => [ { in_alpha_mode => 'alpha' } ] };

if (app->in_alpha_mode) { # true if app->mode eq 'alpha'
  # do alpha stuff
}

You can also use the "helper" in Mojolicious dot notation:

plugin ModeHelpers => { modes => [ { 'modes.alpha' => 'alpha' } ] };

if (app->modes->alpha) { # true if app->mode eq 'alpha'
  # do alpha stuff
}
